When mechanical trading systems were first introduced into the arsenal of trading tools, the trader interested in utilizing these tools would have needed programming expertise, a strong background in mathematical technical analysis, and iron-willed discipline.

The books takes readers on the choices of time frame that will be employed and whether it will be a mean reverting or trend following system.

Richard Weissman does the crucial job of explaining the psychological profile needed to trade the different robust methods that can be used by traders. Regardless of back tested results some people can not handle draw downs or low winning percentages when their system is live with real money.

Richard explains what the trader is getting them-self into. The mandate of the book is that a system must have a large enough sample size to show that it is profitable through multiple market environments and has almost no risk of ruin with proper position sizing. This book does a great job of covering how to implement a mechanical trading system and gives many examples of systems. It also covers the psychological need for discipline in system execution and risk management.

This book is just packed with useful information for traders at all levels. I highly recommend this book. Richard Weissman continues to be one of my favorite trading authors and an inspiration to aspiring traders. Was this review helpful to you? Excellent companion with Trade like a Casino. Kindle Quality very BAD!!! Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. The low Rating is not because of the content quality of this book, It's brilliant!

The reason for the low score is the Quality of the electronic version of this book. I understand that this book is out of print, but the ebook looks like it's literally been photocopied from the printed version, actually it looks like a photocopy of a photocopy. The fonts and headings are not clear, to the point that some headings are almost unreadable. Graphics and Tables are clear and very readable, so they must have been replaced during the reproduction of the Kindle version.

Honestly has the publisher not heard of OCR? I would have though that for the price of the electronic version of this book that a cleanup and conversion to fully digital format would have been done properly and done the content the justice it deserves, a pity as the content is gold.
